The ele vat on Of Sir Nathaniel de Roths

credit of creating the first Jewish peer; for

this ago OF liberation it has taken more than
a generation TO conquer Inherited antipa-

that in England tie house Of lords
has always been behind the commons in

when in lSi9 Baron Lionel de Rothschild

by the upper chamber.
But it was not until 1871, after the abol-

arts at Oxford; and even when Disraeli wa
premier OF England and in the zenith Of his
reputation there Is reason 20 believe that he
declined peerage n favor OF his wife, not
because he did not desire the honor, but be-
cause he feared the political effect Of his ele.
